teryble New Member United States 46 Posts	Posted 01/23/2015 7:55 pm Really? Is it that valuable of a coin that they scam them? It was part of the only lot I ever bought. Soaked them in Vinegar, as they directed me. The clay/dirt was like cement. Just a novice & always collected coins, a penny hound mostly, Morgans, Peace, & Walking Liberty, Franklin halves. Mainly US. But I buy a lot know & then of Foreign & have friends bring me some! No confederate coins yet, want at least one! Thanks again for weighing in! Report this Post to the Staff
chrsmat71 Pillar of the Community United States 4971 Posts	Posted 01/23/2015 9:45 pm not a valuable coin at all, but yeah...very common in uncleaned lots. Report this Post to the Staff
teryble New Member United States 46 Posts	Posted 01/23/2015 10:01 pm Thanks chrsmat71, It's just brass or copper? It's the imitation that threw me off, why would one waste their time? If one was going to take the time, might as well go big! Report this Post to the Staff

Medieval Pillar of the Community 3772 Posts	Posted 01/23/2015 10:08 pm Quote: It's the imitation that threw me off There have been contemporary issues imitating Roman coins (earlier examples are commonly known as 'barbarous radiates'), so it's not a modern copy as you might have understood.
